Major tech firms—including Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and Google—are investing hundreds of billions into AI, creating unprecedented pressure on power systems. Natural gas is emerging as a linchpin fuel, expected to meet roughly 60% of incremental energy demand, with renewables supplying the rest.

Energy executives and analysts argue that regions with quick permitting and direct access to gas supplies are gaining a competitive advantage. This narrative strongly aligns with EQT’s strategic position: supplying abundant, fast-delivered natural gas at scale. The article reinforces EQT’s role in powering U.S. AI data-center deployment and underscores the urgency of investment-friendly policies.
